and they behave with civility.
Remember the POWs from Jessica Lynch's group?
When they were rescued,
the US POWs were yelling to the Marines NOT to hurt the Iraqi "captors"
because the Iraqis had been very good to them
and had bought the POWs food and medicine from their own money.
When the US military convoy was advancing on Baghdad, they ran out of food and water.
Thanks Rummy.
The Iraqi people could not stand to see them suffering so and therefore, they fed them.

Unfortunately for CIVILIANS,
urban warfare,
as promoted by the Pentagon and the War Colleges,
advocates strongly for the elimination of humanity in general.
It is the CIVILIANS in the US who are outraged and disgusted
by the ill-treatment of their Iraqi counterparts by the military.
It is the military that is defending itself from civilian outrage both in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And it is the military that plans to kill us all.
